0.42 ( 3-16-09 )

data to avoid licensing problems.
0.41 ( internal )

0.40 ( 12-14-08 )

- Added error checking to ensure properly closed tags
- Fixed parsing of attributes without values
0.30 ( 7-02-08 )
- Add new parsing mode, simple, which simulates XML::Simple.
0.29 ( internal )
- New function add_node_after
- Fixed node ordering such that node order is preserved
0.28 ( internal )
- Altered xml output so that it cleans extraneous input spacing
and indents mixed values properly.
- Added prereqs to Makefile.pl
- Added Test::POD and Test::POD::Coverage tests
- Fixed incorrect pointer type cast in parser.c
- Rewrote benchmark system to use templated benchmarking
0.27 ( 11-21-07 )
- makefile.pl modified to be compatible with Darwin and
to error out if XCode ( gcc specifically ) is not installed
- makefile.pl modified to support Perl 5.6+ on Win32 MSVC
( previously only Perl 5.8 was supported )
- parser.c modified to include stdlib.h for malloc in Darwin.
- Cyclic equality test weakened to allow for differences in
default sorting of hash keys per perl version.
0.26 ( 11-09-07 )
- Compatibility with versions before Perl 5.6 is not fruitful.
Perl 5.6 now required and will likely remain as a requirement.
It broke too many things.
0.25 ( 11-09-07 )
- makefile.pl modified to pass -shared option correctly
to gcc and not the linker. This caused compilation failure
on certain Solaris systems.
0.24 ( 11-09-07 )
- Continued makefile.pl changes to recognize some platforms
use executable extensions for gcc.
- Remove blank require line from meta.yml. It seemed to break
the kwalitee rating.
0.23 ( 11-08-07 )
- Minor change to XS code for potential future Perl 5.005 support
0.22 ( 11-07-07 )
- Altered makefile.pl to be compatible with more platforms.
- Removed dependency upon string.h for msvc because it
was breaking activestate builds.
- Perl 5.005 allowed, but it fails
- Comment parsing had an issue when the node containing
the comment had no direct value. This has now been resolved.
- Using comments caused ever increasing blank spaces to be added.
This has now been resolved.
- A test for comment reading has been added.
- A test for cyclic equality ( repeated loading and saving ) has
now been added.
0.21 ( 11-04-07 )
- Comments are no longer completely ignored. One comment
node is recognized and stored per non immediate node.
0.20 ( internal )
- forcearray function has been added
- simplify function has been added
- croak now used to error out of an improper call to find_node
- obj2xml has been corrected; previously newlines would stack
up at the end of the xml file
0.17 ( internal - unstable )
- Merge updated to handle array and overlap properly
- del_by_perl function has been added
- add_node modified to return the added node
- find_node modified to skip blank values
- Previously a set of nodes could not be printed out using
the 'xml' function. This can now be done. ( see perldoc )
0.16 ( internal )
- Mixed XML is now supported.
- UTF8 is now parsed properly.
0.15 ( internal )
- C Parser has been revised greatly in order to make it faster. Internal
state engine has been rewritten using gotos instead of a switch in order
make each state more independent and easily optimized by the compiler.
0.14 ( internal )
- Code that creates Perl hash from parsed XML structure has been
rewritten in XS instead of Perl. As a result overall speed has been
increased by 40% or so.
0.13 ( internal )
- Code that creates Perl hash from parsed XML structure has been
cleaned up in order to avoid use of a temporary Perl hash.
0.12 ( internal )
- 'find_node' and 'del_node' functions are now exportable.
- 'find_node' function will now work properly if called on a single item
instead of a list of items.
- Added 'find_by_perl' function to select nodes from a list that match
a specific perl expression.
- A performance test script and some xml files are now included and example runs of
the test script are in the documentation. XML::Bare is ~14-80 times
faster than the alternatives.
0.11 ( 6-25-07 )
- Changed XS code so that it is backwards compatible with older versions of Perl.
- Changed XS code to use 'blind' pointers, a custom created Perl Scalar. Speed
is increased as a result for XML with large contiguous values.
0.10 ( 6-21-07 )
- Made XS routines 30% more efficient. Speed of parsing and perl hash creation
is now very good in comparison to all currently available alternatives in perl.
0.09 ( 6-20-07 )
- Rewrote library using XS instead of swig.
0.08 ( 6-20-07 )
- Parser has been rewritten in C to avoid dependency on g++.
- After node parsing C tree structure memory is now freed.
0.07 ( 6-19-07 )
- Modified custom script because it was incorrect in its use of redirection, causing
some platforms to fail to compile.
0.06 ( 6-17-07 )
- Modified Makefile to use custom script to switch between g++ and gcc for
compilation. Even as c, swig interface still did not compile properly with
g++ on some systems.
0.05 ( 6-16-07 )
- Ceased using c++ for swig interface; it caused compilation issues on some platforms
- Fix further output indentation issues due to {value} always being displayed.
{value} is now displayed as documented.
- First line of changes was incorrect previously
0.04 ( 06-15-07 )
- Added clean function
- Added merge function
- Bugfix: xml output indentation was off due to parser changes in 0.03
- Updated documentation
0.03 ( 06-14-07 )
- Modified makefile to work under windows with Activestate and MSVC
- Cleaned up parser some and fixed basic mixed xml
- Added changelog to dist
- Dist now created from MakeMaker 6.32 ( license and abstract add to Meta.yml )
0.02 ( 06-13-07 )
- Changed version line in perl module from my to global to allow proper cpan indexing
0.01 ( 06-13-07 )
- First release
